When the button is pressed, a large static table of data appears. There are element symbols, floating-point data, operations, reaction equations, formulas, and much more.

"This is the data collected before those instruments were corroded, and the analysis based on the data." Duan Qing said.

Duan Han, who was standing on the side, looked at it with relish, and the expression on his face changed, obviously understanding.

Xu Liang blackened his face, grabbed the remote control board, and clicked directly on the next page.

Xu Liang: Say okay to watch the video, and show us the data! Can you take care of the psychology of the scumbag?

This move was unanimously praised by the majority of scientific illiterate people in the combat command room, and finally, the content of the broadcast became a video that normal people could understand.

Underwater world.

In the completely dark water, a bright light in a straight line suddenly shone on, illuminating the underwater world.

It's completely different from the underwater world we usually see in nature documentaries. In the documentary, we see that the deep seabed is quiet, calm, quiet, and clear. However, the footage captured by this camera is extremely muddy.

In the path of the bright light, there were clumps of flocculents, black, disgusting, sticky, spreading around irregularly, chaotic.

It's similar to the bacteria and slime you just saw, but in the deep ocean, these bacteria are alive.

The bright light shines in six directions: front, back, left, right, up, and down, but after surrounding all six directions, you can only see these things.

The entire deep sea is occupied by these things.

There was nothing else, no sporadic mollusks, no deep-sea crabs, no ugly but familiar lantern-lit monkfish, nothing but these flocculent black things. In the air.

In addition to this, a strange sound can be heard in the video.

It's not like the sound of the ocean, it's like the sound of the scientific instruments themselves.

The sound is not loud, but it is very strange and recognizable, and you can't forget it after hearing it.

Immediately after, the lights in the video flickered, flickered on and off, and then snapped and went out.

The entire video clip only lasted about seven or eight seconds.

Xu Liang knew that this instrument should be scrapped. And the strange sounds I heard just now may be the sound of bacteria clinging to the instrument, corroding, and destroying.

So fast.

Scrap one in seconds.

The video continued to play, apparently from a new device, the same darkness and the same bright light as before, and the same short survival time as before, and the terrible darkness that eventually returned.

Eight or nine video clips in a row, all of them.

There was no trace of any deep-sea creatures at all.

It's as if those nature documentaries are all deceptive, and it's as if this is simply coming to a strange planet.

In a small clip, Xu Liang seems to see that something that appears to be a large sea creature falls into the deep sea from the shallow sea area "above", and then when it comes into contact with these black flocculents, it emits an earth-shattering howl, and then decomposes......

All in all, this is the chaotic and chaotic depths of the sea.

In the end, when there were about thirty seconds left in the video progress bar, the people in the combat command room finally saw a relatively complete and most informative video.

"This is a scientific instrument protected with the most precious and rare minerals, and this instrument also lasted the longest, thirty-four seconds." "It's also the only instrument that takes images directly of the seabed. ”

It is located in a position where there is a huge vein of combustible ice on the ocean floor.

"It's a place I chose to decentralize." Duan Qing explained briefly.

Xu Liang had seen the appearance of combustible ice on the bottom of the sea before.

The veins of combustible ice, a continuous white solid, pure and beautiful, were once regarded as the cleanest source of energy for the future of mankind.

And yet under the searchlight of the moment......

These white, crystalline veins are all black.

Sore.

Corroded and encased in filthy viscous liquids. And the black stuff is still wriggling and expanding.

It's a shocking undersea shock.

The video shines back and forth, and it is found that the entire vein is contaminated.

Then, the longest video clip also snapped to an end with a strange corrosive sound.

"Remember what I sent you?" Duan Qing continued, "The flammable ice veins on the bottom of the sea, plus exudates of unknown origin, plus a small spark, are equivalent to a 'boom'. ”

"The black, disgusting stuff you just saw on the veins is the oozing I mentioned to you."

"I couldn't get a sample because of my limited technical capabilities. But based on the data and video footage, I can make some inferences. She continued, "These are biochemical, to put it bluntly, secreted by unknown bacteria. ”

"These reactants on the seabed are produced through these bacteria."

"Underwater civilizations can do this. And we humans don't have this ability at all, and we won't be able to do it in a few hundred years. ”

"So, I can answer your question now."

"I am more than ninety percent sure that these bacteria that produce reactants are the embodiment of the biochemical technology of the undersea civilization!"

"Don't look at these black lumps, but it's much higher than our technological level."

"I don't know how much it is higher, whether it is decades or hundreds of years, but it is certain that it is much higher."

"That's the proof that they exist."

"The other way around." She continued, "If you have to ask me, have you ever 'seen' strange creatures. I know you're referring to octopuses, silicon-based life, super starfish aliens, and things like that, but my answer is, no. ”

"So you suspect that this civilization does not exist at all, and this possibility may also exist."

"Actually, I don't want such a civilization to be hidden at the bottom of the sea, just waiting to harvest us. I really don't want to. But here's the thing: it's there. ”

"And there's a good chance it's been there for a long time."

"It's much older than the history of our human civilization that is only a few thousand years old."

In most people's imagination, another civilization is often "high-tech" and "advanced", such as super-massive warships, bright metallic luster, white sci-fi rooms, full-coverage armor, and towering naval guns...... Mostly this is the impression.

But this form is rarely imagined.

Even in the operational command room, there are many people who believe that this is nothing more than ...... What is it? Was it an accident? Is it unexplained biological evolution? Is there a problem with the probe data? All in all, whatever it is, it can't be another civilization.

This is the opinion of many people after watching the video, and even Xu Liang faintly thinks about it.

Duan Qing said: "Maybe it's really possible that I'm wrong. ”

"Maybe it's not 'another civilization' at all, as you think, but like I said earlier, I'd rather believe it's not."

"After all, we have not seen the main body of the enemy's civilization, the enemy's gathering place, and all the enemy's information is unknown. All we know is these bacteria that they release and the chemicals that bacteria secrete. So, perhaps, what you think is really right. ”

"I hope so, too."

"But!" Duanqing's tone changed, "What if my guess is correct?" ”

"What if these precise releases were planned? What if these behaviors didn't happen on the part of nature itself? What if we really had to face an invasion from another civilization? ”

"What if the creation of a civilization does not focus on beautiful appearance, beautiful metal creations, and space exploration technology, but focuses on the development of biotechnology and chemical technology, forming such a civilization that uses bacteria as weapons and chemical compounds as energy sources?"

"What if the tech tree they ordered was disgusting, but it was a useful biotech?"

"What if they have a better space to grow because of a completely different tech tree than us, and reach the point where they have mastered energy that can control six or seven orders of magnitude more than us, and plan to set off a tsunami and destroy us?"

"What if this possibility is true?"

Duan Qing said countless ifs, and only at this time did he smile slightly self-deprecatingly: "Frankly speaking, with our current scientific and technological strength, I don't know what to do." ”

"If the time really comes, if we survive the tsunami, maybe ...... The key you got can save us? ”

"I know you've already opened the key. That's because of the breakthrough in the underlying principle of electronic warfare shown by my sister. ”

"But this problem is still too far away."

"The most critical issue now is to carry the tsunami through first."

"You agree with that, don't you?"

Duanqing mentioned the key, but not much.

Xu Liang said in a deep voice: "How much do you know about the key?" ”

"Not much, only a little, even less researched." Duan Qing said, "Moreover, it has nothing to do with the tsunami we are facing now. ”

"There are only a few days left. We shouldn't waste any more time. ”

"So...... Are you interested in taking a look at the big ship? ”

Duan Qing stretched out her hands and made an invitation.

"There are only a few days left, would you like to visit the final fortress of mankind that I have designed for ten years to fight the tsunami?"

Xu Liang swallowed his saliva: "I'm interested." ”
